2027 Blizzard Firebird WRC Skiswith Comp 13 Bindings

The 2027 Blizzard Firebird WRC is a true GS-leaning race ski, a long-radius cousin in the Firebird race lineup that's built for high-speed carving on race-grade snow. Handmade in Austria with Blizzard's Trueblend Race woodcore and a 3-titanal racing construction, it's a serious tool for skiers who want a competition-ready ski for fast, big-arc turns.

Why we like it:

Few non-FIS race skis have this level of damping and edge hold. The 3Ti construction makes the Firebird WRC feel utterly locked in at speed, with a quietness through the turn that's a step above what most carving skis at this level can produce.

Who it's for:

Expert skiers who want a true high-performance race-style ski for fast, long-arc carving. Ideal for masters racers, ex-racers, and skiers with strong technique who want a real race-style platform for hardpack days at speed.

Highlights:

The 3Ti Racing construction layers three sheets of titanal into the layup, which is more metal than you'll see on most non-FIS race skis. That extra titanal is what gives the WRC its damping and edge hold at high speeds, the kind of stability that lets a strong skier push the limit without the ski getting bounced around. The Trueblend Race woodcore handles the flex profile, with race-tuned wood placement that keeps the ski supportive underfoot and progressive at the tip and tail. Full camber means complete edge contact from tip to tail, and the 18.5-meter sidecut radius at the 180-cm length tilts the WRC toward GS-style turns rather than slalom. The included FDT Race Plate Pro B and Comp13 Demo binding setup is built for the demands of high-speed skiing, with adjustability for different boot sizes and stance preferences.

Things to consider:

This is a race-focused ski, full stop. Stiff flex, full camber, and a long radius mean it expects to be skied with serious technique on firm snow. Recreational skiers, mellow skiers, and anyone shopping for a versatile carver should look at a less aggressive ski.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length. Pick the length that matches your usual race or hard-charging frontside size.
